I like my 4" Redhawk but that 629 is sweet. How is it to shoot? I enjoy the great flame thrower pics. All that unburned powder.

The 629 is a great shooter. It doesn't recoil as much as you would think. I actually often carry it for SD.

I have a thing for.44s myself,













but the .41s are catching up

Those are the 5 Star speedloaders right?
How do you like those? I was thinking of picking up some.

They are awesome. I like the design because they are thinner and fit with a wider range of grips then the HKS loaders.

I love the 44-40 ............. You can down load it to 44 spl spec or load it to meet or exceed the 44 mag and it is a super black powder shooter .

I really like that 629-3.
Nice pics.

Its nice to see the range reports on youtube. New camera huh?? I know have to catch up on .44s as well since I got my first one three weeks ago. LGS has a .41 also for 329.00... Hummm?

Yea, I accidentally kinda blew up the last one with my Redhawk

I think my next revolver will be a 41 maggie. A shop near my house has a S&W m58 NIB, and I have been resisting the purchase

What are you waiting for????? Take a look at the 58 in my pics. They are a great gun. Mine is "SAPD" marked. (San Antonio PD) I wouldn't sell it for the world on a platter. One of the great regrets of my life was a 58 I didn't buy. It "floated" around Portland, I saw it in two gunshops and a gunshow. This was about 1980. Someone had sent it to Magna-port, the barrel was cut to 3", an action job, round butted, hammer bobbed and ported with stunning rosewood grips. It was clearly a handloading proposition but, apparently it changed hands with non-reloaders because the same box of factory "hunting" ammo followed it around. Each time it showed up there would be 6 less rounds in the box. When this one showed up I whipped out my wallet so fast I got friction burns on my keister. Get one, load for it, enjoy the last of the classic Smith fixed sight combat big bores.
